ASHBURN, Va. - Does Pierre Garcon expect to be able to exploit a probably rusty Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner in his first game since a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs?

"I couldn't even tell you his first name, really, so I couldn't tell you if he's going to be rusty or not,'' Garcon said.

Added receiver Leonard Hankerson: "If he hasn't been working during the time off, we'll take advantage of that.

"We're not worried about what they've got going on over there. We have a quality group of guys who can all go out and make plays. We can't make this bigger than it is. They have a great defense. If we have all 11 guys playing on the same page, it'll be hard to stop us.''

While Browner has been inactive, Sherman won his drug appeal last week on a technicality that overturned a four-game suspension that would have knocked him out of the postseason for the Seahawks (11-5).

Defensive tackle Kedric Golston made his opinion on Sherman clear to USA TODAY Sports when he called Sherman "a cheater'' on Friday.

Expect plenty of extra-curricular activity and smack talk between Browner (6-4), Sherman (6-3) and Robert Griffin III's collection of big-play receivers who are out to burn them.

"Trying to jam is a risk,'' Garcon said. "They have longer arms. You have to knock them down. We have to be physical, too - get their hands off of us and run our routes. We have a lot of speed.''

And the Redskins receivers are aware how Sherman disrespected them when he told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday that none of them worry him. The Redskins are on a mission to change his mind.

"We've shown a lot of things we can do and diversity - whether it's as run or pass blockers, catching the ball, we're pretty balanced all the way around,'' Garcon said. "We've shown everything we can do. We'll be looking forward to whatever kind of game it is.''

The Redskins (10-6) are 9-1 in games when Garcon has been healthy enough to play since tearing a ligament in his foot during the opening win against New Orleans. He is the deep threat who opens up the read-option running lanes for tailback Alfred Morris and Griffin, the quarterback.

Garcon has caught 33 passes for 475 yards with three touchdowns during the last six games of the Redskins' seven-game winning streak. The former Indianapolis Colt, who signed a five-year, $42.5-million free-agent deal in the offseason, has caught 26 passes for 363 yards with three touchdowns in four postseason games for the Colts. That includes an 11-catch, 151-yard, one-touchdown performance in a 30-17, 2009 AFC Championship win against the New York Jets.

Facing the Seahawks' physical corners "will be good matchup, a good battle,'' Garcon said. "They're going to play their game. We're going to play our game. We're going to see what we have to do to make plays and score points.''
